the arab and islamic world. -- hisesty, the custody messy and president donald trump signed a joint strategic operation which sets the stage for a truly strategic relationship between our two countries. our relationships will evolve into a more strategic ownership, it will deal with ways to cooperate in terms of violent extremism, financing of terrorism, increasing defense capabilities, working on a defense architecture for the and then looking at how other countries can join the strategic vision that also includes trade and investment education and working in all to enhance our common interest and deal with the challenges that face both of our countries. this is unprecedented, we've not had an agreement signed by the kingdom of saudi arabia and the president to codify the relationship. this is a great compliment. in addition to the signing of this strategic vision declaration, the two countries signed a series of agreements, but commercial and government that involve trade investment, that involve infrastructure, that involve technology, that involves a defense sales, that involves saudi investment in --rican infrastructure and i will not get into the details. we expect these investments over the next 10 years or so would provide hundreds of thousands of jobs in the united states and saudi arabia. it will lead to a transfer of technology from the u.s. to saudi arabia, enhance our economy. >> they discussed of the scourge of terrorism, extremism and how we can work together to eradicated. they discuss the terrorist activities of iran and the fact that action has to be taken to make sure iran has not continued with the aggressive policies in the region. sees --as years into the un security council in regard to ballistic missiles and in its human rights violations. they discussed the situation in syria, the importance of working towards peace. the custodian of the two holy --a newdiscussed at the approach and determination can bring a conclusion to this long conflict. he has the vision and the strength and decisiveness. thinking of mr. hurray to work with the united states in order to bring about peace between israelis and palestinians and with israelis and arabs. they discussed trade and investment. where the great lunch conversation began before the meeting. a visit is a truly historic visit. we are very honored that president trump chose to come to the kingdom of saudi arabia on his first visit and we look for tomorrow to posting the summit in saudi arabia and the arab-islamic american summit which is historic and unprecedented and brings together the islamic world with the united states into partnership and begins to change the conversation from one of enmity to one of partnership. step has and historic the potential for changing our world. if we can change the conversation in the islamic --fromrom in the best partnership, we would have truly changed our world. we will have drain the swamps from which extremism and terrorism emanate. i cannot overstate the importance of such a gathering and i think after this visit the president will go to israel and to go to the vatican where he will address of the jewish world and the christian world and try to bring together the three major monotheistic religions in the world into a partnership so that we move from any discussion -- so that we moved to a discussion of a partnership of civilization. i want to stop here and let rex tillerson indulge. welcome to the kingdom of saudi arabia. congratulations on an extremely productive visit. >> thank you and thank all of you for being here this evening and in particular i want to thank my longtime friend and colleague, the foreign minister. we've known each other for many years when our facial features were much younger. we remember those days but we have remained friends for all these many years and now colleagues. really proud to be here today with him to talk about this in the strengthening of the u.s.-audi partnership and relationship -- u.s.-saudi relationship. -- a is a story moment historic moment. the united states and the key number of saudi arabia are dedicating ourselves to a new strategic partnership and charting a new towards a peaceful middle east where economic development, trade, the premises are hallmarks of regional and global engagement and something we will be working together on. this growing partnership is really grounded interest. trust between our two nations that we are pursuing the same objectives. cooperation and a shared interest. the elements of this declaration that was signed, there are many elements. s toe are a lot of work implement of those elements and put them into motion. that is going to require significant ongoing engagement between our two nations and i think you'll find that we will be meeting with a great deal of regularity to see how these things are progressing and that is only going to turn further for our cooperation. it sends a message to our common enemies. it strengthens the bond between us and will guide our way force. the core of our expanding relationship really are our shared security interest. america's security at home is by saudi arabia the secure as well. we are embarking on a new initiative to counter violent extremists messaging. we are also going to be pursuing new approaches to disrupting the financing of terrorism and advancing cooperation. today the united states and saudi arabia are conducting vital new expansions of security relationship that span over seven decades. one of the real hallmarks of today is the economic cooperation. if you have strong economic engagement between two countries, that is foundational to a strong security relationship as well. as you heard the foreign minister mentioned, today we announced 23 foreign investment export licenses leading to upwards of $350 billion of his story direct investment. when hundred 9 billion of that is in arms sales to bolster the security of our saudi partners. these are going to result in literally hundreds of thousands of american jobs that are created by these direct investment in purchases of american goods, american equipment, american technology but also investment into the ,ingdom of saudi arabia as well and this is an indication of the confidence saudi arabia has in the united states investment climate. what they are seeing already are the positive impacts of president trump's actions to improve the business climate in the u.s. for investment and job creation and they intend to be a part of that. this is a great vote of confidence in the united states in the business environment in the keenum of saudi arabia as they continue to advance in their own reforms and seek opportunities for their own people to create jobs as well. strong economic relationships are the foundation for strong security relationship as well. the intended sales of the defense packages in particular fall into five broad categories, were security and counterterrorism, maritime coastal security, air force modernization, cyber security and communications upgrade and i think you can identify in all of these the importance that all those areas have to u.s. national security as well. along with this will go a lot of training and support to strengthen our partnership with the saudi armed forces as well. the package of defense equipment and services supports security and saudi arabia and the entire gulf region, in particular in the face of the line -- malign iranian influence that exist on saudi arabian borders. the important part of this is this huge ourselves package reduces the burden on the united states to provide the equipment to our own military forces and will strengthen saudi security and forces for the future so that saudi arabia is more capable of carrying a greater share of the burden of their on security, which i indicated is part of the u.s. national security as well. it lowers the demands on our own military but also lowers the cost to the american people by providing security in this region. extremely important to the future of the relationship but also important to the cause of surprising -- of providing security for american citizens in this region. i think the other important announcement which i will just mention was at the new counterterrorism initiative, the new global center for combating extremist ideology which will be opened in riyhad. defeating a hub for the feeding isis in cyberspace. this is how they message to lone wolfs around the world. experts of that live in this part of the world and understand how to message those who might be influence. i partners in the gulf cooperation council will be signing a new agreement tomorrow to close gaps in many of these areas including financial infrastructure that terrorists can export and we commend them do forgetting terrorists to financial operations in their country. all these new initiatives will bolster our joint efforts to deter regional threats from iran and syria, iran and yemen and a long saudi arabia's borders. we are very proud of this relationship that we are embarking upon with the kingdom and are very appreciative of the leadership of his royal highland -- his royal highness king solomon in putting these initiatives for. we've had a very historic day-to-day. -- day today. >> a few questions? >> mr. secretary? >> you said earlier in your briefing that saudi arabia and the united states share objectives, having said that, are there any crucial actions that will be announced taking towards iran? >> we're closely coordinating our efforts in terms of how to extremism, it support for foreign fighters, it's payment of foreign fighters, it support of militia. they are operating not just in but in iraq and syria. agreement is to be used to contain iran's nuclear aspirations. we have a group that is focused on yemen, we have a group of like-minded focused on syria. the leadership starts here in the kingdom with the strong leadership of his royal highness as well as the deputy crown prince and certainly be foreign minister. they have been wonderful and strong conveners of others who are like-minded in terms of this fight against terrorism broadly role inifically iran's supporting extremist organizations. questions, will you ever pick up the phone and call iran's foreign minister? yemen, how will selling for and weapons to saudi arabia helped bring an end to that brutal war? what -- [indiscernible] >> in terms of whether i would ever pick the phone up, i've never shut off the phone to anyone that wants to talk or have a productive conversation. at this point i have no plans to call my counterpart in iran although in all likelihood we will talk at the right time. in terms of the situation in yemen, our emphasis is on finding a political solution. we view it as a tragic situation , obviously millions of people on the brink of starvation because of the impact of the fighting but we also think it is important to put the pressure on parties to come to the table and talk. i want to make it clear that we have efforts underway on both fronts. andink the rebels in yemen those who have taken over the knownment in yemen have to they cannot sustain this fight. they will never prevail militarily but they are only going to feel that when they feel the resistance militarily so it is important to keep the pressure on them and many of the armaments we are providing to saudi arabia will help them be much more precise and targeted with many of their strikes but it is important that pressure be cap on the -- pressure be kept o n the rebels in yemen. we are actively engaged to see advancennot invent -- to bring this to a halt politically. >> rids regard to the reelection , does it matter what president they have, we judge iran by its actions and not by its words. they want to have better relations with us but then they assassinate our diplomats, they plant terrorist cells in my country and in countries allied to us and they supply militias that would destabilize countries. they intervene and meddle in the affairs of arab countries like iraq, syria, lebanon and yemen. they created the world's most foremost terrorist organization hezbollah. they provide comfort and support for al qaeda. they have a relationship with the taliban that destabilizes afghanistan. military -- the heads of the plot escape to iran. >> this is not the behavior of a country that wants others to treat them with respect. this is the state sponsor of isrorism who deservedly sanctioned by the international community for this behavior. if i ran wants to be on a normal country and others to treat it like a normal country has to act in accord with international law the values and the rules of the international system that has existed for centuries. we welcome and i ran that is open to the world and lives in peace with its neighbors. we welcome around that doesn't interfere in the affairs of other countries. this is not the iran we see. the we think about reelection? we want to cede deeds, not words. we will continue to judge iran based on its deeds and base our policy based on iran's deeds. if i may say something about that wehe perception is are fighting in yemen for a reason, or that we have no objective or no goals. people forget how this started. saudi arabia work together to come up with the gcc initiative which created the transition. yemen was in a transitional period. students, travel people with different religious sects. they come up with the blueprint for what the should look forward going forward. rights for everyone. they rewind to codify that insulate constitution. then they staged a coup. they attacked the city. they seized the government into total control of a country that is critically important to the security of the region. now we have a radical militia allied with iran and hezbollah oversition that has taken a friendly government. we intervened. we have said there is no military solution. the solution is political. they have to go back to the implement -- the negotiating table. less than 50,000. in a country of 28 million. it is unacceptable that they would be allowed to seize power and get away with it. we and a coalition of countries have been fighting to restore the legitimate government of yemen which is in control of 80% of the territory. we have made mistakes and acknowledge those. we have investigated those. we have been charged with things that we didn't do. we were supposed to have attacked a wedding. it never took place. we were supposed to have destroyed planes. these chargers per leveled at the kingdom and the coalition. they were not correct. the image prevailed that we were waging an aggressive for against the country. they were remote -- made to look like victims. they started this. they logged 40 ballistic missiles at our towns and cities. it is they who have violated thousands of times cease-fire arrangements put in place. it is they who have made 70 agreements and reneged on more than -- on every single one of them. when it comes to assist in saudi arabia has been the largest provider of him in and assistance to yemen. the areas under government control have no problem distributing aid. they steal the aid. they sell it to fund their war machine. the starvation exist because they laid siege on towns that will not allow air supplies to get in. that is why people are starving. not because of the bombing. starvation is because they steal thes coming in and sell products to fund their war machine. we have submitted aid to every area that we can. we are running the largest hospital. the hospital that the kingdom built 30 years ago and has been operating &'s in order to help the communities. it has been operating even through the hostilities. to fallnot allow iran to a radical militia. we know what that ends up looking like when we look at the past in our region. re-appreciate the position of the trump administration in terms of providing support for and so far. appreciate and we believe that because of this support we will be able to put enough pressure to bring them to the negotiating table and make an agreement based on the gcc initiative and even security council 2260. [an audible question -- in audible question] >> it is unprecedented. the president of the united states signing an agreement on -- that outlines a vision for how we want to elevate an already strategic relationship to an even higher level. we want to intensify the cooperation. whether it is in defense or technology for education. whether it is an investment. we want to create a mechanism headed by both the president or whatever they designate that would be a group that would meet periodically in order to see how we can implement a lot of the visions or strategies that we have. the expectation is that the united states is the largest ambassador in the kingdom of saudi arabia. exxon mobil is the largest single investor. the kingdom of saudi arabia has been a good home for american investment. american investors have transfer technology to the kingdom or provided jobs, who have helped small and midsize businesses gain work and technology and jobs. this is very good. the vision and economic ,greements that were signed they will increase american investment and will provide more opportunity for saudi individuals and medium-size businesses to benefit from those investments including technology transfer as american people will benefit from saudi investments in the united states which will again provide hundreds of thousands of jobs. i have -- this is a truly historic summit. this is a turning point in the relationship that will take it from a strategic relationship and partnership towards a truly strategic relationship and partnership. >> last question. say if rouhani will change anything and i ran? would you be able to say, does the white house know who the person of interest in being investigated in the rush investigation? will answer both of those. i do not have information or knowledge regarding the person of interest referenced. i might comment on the iranian elections as well. thati would hope is rouhani now has a new term and he uses that term to begin a process of dismantling iran's network of terrorism, dismantling its financing of their terrorist network, dismantling the logistics and everything that they provide to destabilizing forces that exist in this region. that is what we hope he does. we hope he puts an end to their ballistic missile testing. we hope that he restores the rights of iranians to freedom of speech, to freedom of organization so that iranians and live the life they deserve. that is what we hope the election will bring. i'm not going to comment on my expectation. but we hope if you wanted a change, those are the things he could do. >> as a sign of how strategic are partnership is, i agree on

you are watching historic pictures this morning and president of the united states. let's listen in. >> i likewise has some tremendously talented people but, in particular jason, you love israel so much that he left a very, very, very substantial job to be able to help on a peace treat. you would love to see that, wouldn't you? and david freidman likewise, one the most successful lawyers in the united states. and he said i want to do something. he is your ambassador as you know david freidman. we are very honored to have the two of you working so hard to try to bring about peace and i think you will be very successful. if you are not you will get blamed because i just put it on record. my staff has been fantastic and as you know, rex, secretary of state has done an incredible job. we just got back from the middle east. we just got back -- saudi arabia and we were treated incredibly well. and there is tremendous well, really good feeling towards israel. and i will say one of the things i think we can call it an outreach but what's happened with iran has brought many other parts of the middle east toward israel. and you could say that's one of the -- if there is a benefit, that would be the benefit because i have seen such a different feeling towards israel from countries that as you know were not feeling so well about israel not so long ago. and it's brought a lot of folks together and i think you have seen it and you have even mentioned it on many occasions. so, that is a real positive. we are very happy about that. >> every challenge creates opportunities. >> it's a challenge and it's an opportunity. you have a great opportunity right now there is a great feeling for peace throughout the middle east. i think people have just had enough. they have had enough of the blood shed and the killing. and i think you are going to see things starting to happen. what we did over the weekend was -- they say there has never been anything like it ever before. and it was really a coming together. and now today being in israel is just very, very special for us. so, we expect to have some very interesting talks. >> absolutely. we are praying for peace and we are pushing for peace for the last 100 years and with god's help, somebody will bring us peace all together. all together. thank you. >> thank you very much.

>> non-of this is scientific, right. every town hall is different. what i can tell you is that what we're seeing is that this activism is taking place organically across districts. it's not just in bluer-leaning districts. it's in red districts. i'll give you an example. out in carson city, nevada, dean

later. >> shannon: you were there, what can you tell us? >> i can tell you that i was in the room with fox news photographer keith and fox news producer. we were the people who you could hear ben jacobs ask can i get your names? we were setting up to do an interview and arrived early to set up. we were in a room adjacent to a volunteer barbecue for his campaign that was about to happen and then he came in. we started talking and introduced himself and chitchat about bozeman in general when ben jacobson placed his recorder right up to him about here and started asking him questions about the cbo report on the republican healthcare bill and you heard what happened from there. i myself was standing about two feet d jacobs when it happened. there was a table in between. i saw the whole thing when he grabbed him by the neck both hands, slid him to the side. body slammed him and got on top of him and started punching and yelling at him and ben jacobs scrambled to his knees, grabbed his glasses and you heard him

condition that a state has a working high-risk pool to help specifically that person with pre-existing conditions. an example. in wisconsin, we had a really successful high-risk pool. 10% of people in the individual market in wisconsin were in the state high-risk pool. they had eight or nine plans to choose from. they could go to any doctor or hospital they wanted. and their premiums and co-pays

up to the wealthiest people in the country, and corporations at the expense of middle income people and those who aspire to the middle class. robin hood in reverse. so this has to be fought. it is one of the most damaging, if not the most damaging bill to

meaning the russian government or actors within were trying to elect donald trump. i want to know what collusion means to you, that seems to be the standard by which you think he should be impeached? >> absolutely. i am talking about strategies that were developed working with the trump campaign. i really do believe that much of what you saw coming out of trump's mouth was a play from putin's playbook. i think that when you saw him absolutely calling hillary crooked, the, "locker up, lock her up" was developed. i think that was developed strategically with people from the kremlin, with putin, and i think it's more than bank records. i think that you can see visits you know, to moscow were made

summer was named vasyl stus. he's not famous in the west, but he is famous where he's from still. he was a poet, human rights activist. they arrested him for anti-soviet activities and they put him on trial and the fact they put him on trial makes it sound like a judicial proceeding. he was appointed lawyer who worked for the government. here's how the "new york times" years later described how that worked out. quote, mr. stus exercising one of his stew rights as a dissident defendant tried to refuse representation by his lawyer. his state appointed lawyer insisted on speaking at the trial anyway. when the lawyer rose and spoke at the trial, he declared his client guilty and said he deserved to be punished for

trump to have this in play. >> it's dangerous phenomena. you see his reaction. clapper, gates, brennan. every time one of these officials come out they can add their opinion into it. normally if you're going in to testify in government, have you to write out scripts, talking points have to be crisp. that's what we saw with dni coats. he was trying to be careful about his language when he was talking about these things. >> brennan, except for the weird camera angle and napoleon in the corner you look at him over there was incredibly effective. it was like a graduate seminar

miscalculations if you want to give president trump the benefit of the doubt. if not it's nixon onas senator casey and "new york times" have suggested this morning. we'll try to get to the bottom of these questions. first it's hard to overstate the sheer magnitude, the far reaching impact to fire fbi director james comey. this morning there's mounting criticism of that decision from both sides of the aisle and calls are growing louder from democrats for a special prosecutor now that the president has fired the man leading the investigation into possible collusion between trump aides and the russians. now house democrats asking for the preservation of all documents related to that probe and to comey's firing. >> the fbi director's unser

>> here's what i know and hiere is what his expeer tertise is. we have the democrats running around to blue states like michigan and new hampshire and pennsylvania and nevada and colorado. why are they doing it? they're following the leaders. this is important in the closing days. they're going where we are because the polls are tightening. >> you raise criticism of the clintons, they got $1 million from cutter, which they probably did, but we know nothing about the finances of your candidate. >> you know plenty. 104-page financial disclosure statement. anybody can pull it up. it's a lot of pages. >> no tax returns. no tax returns other than a leaked one that shows he agreed he hasn't paid -- >> if america cared about it, why is he tied in states where president obamacarecarried the state? 46%, she can't crack it. what is changing between now and tuesday? >> she has problems, i agree. >> she does.

nazi germany would have done and did do. it is a disgrace. is the dossierfiction, fact or a bit of both. in the shadowy world of free lance intelligence, that is unknowable for now. in 2013 the trump—owned miss universe circus rolled into moscow. donald trump had his own reasons to be excited. he had tweeted. a meeting was reportedly set up, but it never happened. but the leaked dossier said a number of prostitutes were provided and hidden cameras recorded everything. malcolm nance used to be an officer

special counsel and congress. and one of the few people in that meeting, national security adviser general h.r. mcmaster. he's our exclusive guest this morning from saudi arabia with the president. thank you for joining us today. i want to get to the trip. first, questions about the meeting you all had with the russian foreign minister. "the new york times" reporting the president said in the meeting -- i just fired the head of the fbi. he was crazy. real nut job. i faced great pressure because of russia. now that's taken off. is that what the president said? >> well, i don't remember exactly what the president said. and, the notes that they apparently have, i do not think are a direct transcript. the gist of the conversation was that the president feels as if he's hamstrung in his ability to work with russia to find areas of cooperation because this has been obviously so much in the news. that was the intention of that portion of the conversation. >> did you know he was going to report that to the russians? what did you think when you heard it? >> report what, george? >> what he said about james comey, that he fired him and why? >> the firing had been in the news. but i didn't know in advance that the president was going to raise it. as i mentioned, he raised it in the context of explaining that he has been feeling as if he's been unable to find areas of cooperation with russia even as he confronts them in key areas where they're being disruptive, like syria. the subversive activities around europe. the support for the assad regime and for iran and its activities across the middle east. >> did you understand how this might look to an average american right now? the president of the united states telling the russian foreign minister in their first meeting that the pressure is off because he's fired the fbi director investigating russian interference in the campaign. does that seem appropriate to you? >> as you know, it's very difficult to take a few lines, a paragraph out of what are -- what appear to be notes of that meeting. and to be able to see the full context of the conversation. as i mentioned last week, the really purpose of the conversation was to confront russia on areas, as i mentioned, like you -- eukraine and syria and their support for assad and the iranians. that was the intent of that conversation was to say, what i would like to do is move beyond all of the russia news so that we can find areas of cooperation. >> so did the president confront them on their interference in our election? this was their first meeting. >> there already was too much leaked from those meetings. one of the things i'm most concerned about is the confidence. the confidentiality of those kind of meetings. as you know, they're extremely important. so, i am really concerned about these kind of leaks because it undermines everybody's trust in that kind of an environment. where you can have frank, candid, and often times unconventional conversations to try to protect american interests and secure the american people. >> i understand your concern about leaks. i can see the -- feeling of perhaps someone likely on your staff or in your community who leaked this thinking they had a duty to leak it because you have this apparent contradiction. the president disparaging the person who was investigating the russians but not confronting the russians who interfered in our election. >> well, as you know, the initial leak that came out was a leak about concerns about revealing intelligence sources and methods. information that is not even a part of the president's briefing. so in a concern about divulging intelligence, they also indicated the sources to a newspaper? it doesn't make sense, george. >> i take your point on that. there's the question of whether or not it was right for the president to give that information to the russians. but i guess that's a direct question. did the president confront the russians on their interference in our election? >> well, i'm not going to divulge more of that meeting. those meetings, as you know, are supposed to be privileged. they're supposed to be confidential. they're supposed to allow the president and other leaders to have frank exchanging. >> one final question. sean spicer has spoken out. the president's press secretary. he said by grandstanding and politicizing the investigation into russia's actions, james comey created unnecessary pressure on our ability to engage and negotiate with russia. do you agree that the former fbi director's grandstanding and politicizing, sean spicer's words, hurt our ability to deal with russia? >> i think what's been hurting our ability to deal with russia more than any other factor has been russia's behavior. since president trump has taken action in syria, we think there may be opportunities to find areas of cooperation in places like ukraine, places like syria in particular. >> after your first press conference on that meeting, your friend and former colleague, retired colonel john neagle told npr that you're in an impossible situation because the president expects you to defend the indefensible. what's your response? >> i don't think i'm in an impossible situation. i think what the president expects, what is my duty to do as national security adviser and as an officer in our army is to give my best advice. to give my best, candid advice. nobody elected me to make policy. what my job is is to give the president options, to integrate the efforts across all of our agencies and departments. and then once the president makes decisions, to help him execute those decisions to protect and advance the interests of the american people. so, i find no difficulty at all serving our nation and serving the president in my current capacity. >> if the president put you in that position as you wrote about with president johnson and vietnam, would you resign? would you push back? >> well, you know, there was some middle ground there during the vietnam period. what occurred is many of the president's senior advisors, civilian and military, didn't give their best advice. they concluded that what would be appropriate for them to do given what president johnson expected was to tell him the advice he wanted to hear. i don't think the president expects that from me. certainly, i don't think i would be fulfilling my duties and responsibilities unless i gave him not just my candid advice. that's not my job either. to integrate and coordinate to give him the best advice from across our government and with our key multinational partners. >> it sounds like one of the difficulties of the meeting, and i do want to get on to the trip, is that when the president disparaged james comey, apparently did not confront the russians over this, he didn't even ask your advice? >> george, what i would like to talk about is where i am right now. in aud -- saudi arabia. i think i answered the questions concerning the media. i would like to move on while we still have time. >> we will have time. did the president ask you your advice about this before he talked about james comey? >> the president always asks our advice before these sorts of sessions. the subject of that fbi investigation, to my recollection, didn't come up. really, that conversation, though i don't want to talk about any more of the specifics from within it, covered a broad range of subjects. most of which had to do with areas in which we think russia's behavior has been unacceptable and is an increasing risk to the international security is supporting those helping to create a humanitarian crisis. in syria and across the region. that would be the assad regime. and iran. but then also look for areas where we could cooperate. begin to move to a resolution of conflicts in ukraine and syria. and be able to cooperate more effectively in our counterterrorism campaigns. >> let's talk broadly about the goal of this trip. the president said he had a very good start. what do you want to accomplish? >> three main things. the first is to advance the security of the american people. to recognize that to do that, america needs allies and partners to deal with the complex problems that we're dealing with. in this region, those are two main and interconnected problems. the problem of transnational terrorist organizations, some of which i now, like isis, control territory and populations and resources. but then, how that problem is connected more broadly to the problem of islamist extremism and the brain-washing of an irreligious ideology that is meant to foment hatred. and justify violence against innocents. and the second problem of iran. and iran's actions, which we believe are aimed at keeping the world mired in civil war. you see it in syria. a great human cost. you see it in yemen. you see it in a certain extent in iraq. security, cooperation. counterterrorism. counterextremism is a big part -- >> as you know, the saudis -- >> the second part -- >> go ahead. >> the second part is economic cooperation. being able to get better access to markets. develop trade relationships. create american jobs. a lot of important signings happened in that connection. and the third is to foster, this is just for this leg of the trip, better defense cooperation in the region and to encourage additional burden-sharing. responsibility-sharing. with allies and partners. so americans don't foot the full bill for security in this region and globally, as well. >> the saudis have been, in the past, consistent backers of extremists around the region and around the world. are you convinced they're ready to change? >> we're going to ask them to convince us. there are very good first steps being taken. with the establishment of the center for combatting global extremism, or terrorist extremism. we'll have to see the results. willingness to talk about it is somewhat different than the past. as you know, the record is poor. back to the '60s and '70s and beyond. and to today. we need to convene leaders. across all religions. the big theme of the trip is to promote tolerance and cooperation across all religions. to identify these terrorists for who they are. the enemies of all civilized people. i irreligio irreligious criminals who use a perverted interpretation of religion to advance their agendas. that's the tone and tenor of the conversations that happened today. funding has to be cut off to these groups that are fomenting hatred and intolerance. funding has to be cut off to terrorist organizations through effective threat and finance situations. we have said we expect results delivered together. that will be a big part of the conversations tomorrow when the group of leaders expands dramatically to not only include the gulf cooperation council but 50 nations of predominantly muslim populations. >> general mcmaster, thank you
